Productive Painting, New Jersey Wood Staining Specialists
If you are looking to refresh your wood features in a commercial space, we can create results that will generate more aesthetic appeal, create a positive impression, and increase property value. Whether its interior or exterior wood stain protects and lengthens longevity of the wood surface. Because wood has a naturally beautiful look people think that staining is an unnecessary step. Staining your wood has several benefits both functional and pleasing to the eye. Why leave your woodwork unprotected?
There are many instances in which your wood will be exposed to water, whether it be your wooden siding, wooden deck or even the occasional spill on your wooden floors. Water and wood do not mix well, and water can cause severe damage to your wood like rotting. Once the wood rots there is no quick fix, and it will have to be replaced. Staining the wood will protect it by creating a waterproof barrier between water and your wood. We offer a variety of stain options that can be used to either protect the natural color of your wood or to enhance the color and pigmentation of the wood.
Staining wood can also provide a beautiful color to enhance the natural grain and texture of wood. If the color is not what your design plans include there are stains available that are clear and only preserve and highlight the natural beauty of the wood.

Our Process
Productive Painting can provide the quality wood staining of your choice. We take our time in preparing the wood surface before we begin the application process. There are several different types of wood stains on the market. We can assist you in choosing the product that will work best for the look that you are trying to achieve.
Benefits of Wood Staining for Commercial Properties:
- Enhances aesthetics: Staining brings out the natural beauty of wood grain, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
- Protects the wood: Stain acts as a sealant, protecting wood from moisture, UV rays, and pests.
- Increases property value: A well-stained wood feature can significantly boost the value of a commercial property.
- Versatility: Stains come in a wide range of colors and finishes, allowing you to customize the look and feel of your space.
Our wood staining process includes:
Preparation:
- Surface Cleaning: Remove dirt, dust, grease, and previous coatings to ensure proper stain absorption. Commercial spaces might require specialized cleaning methods for heavy traffic areas or ingrained stains.
- Sanding: Smooth out rough surfaces and imperfections for a uniform stain application. Different grits are used depending on the wood type and desired final texture.
- Wood Repair: Address any cracks, holes, or considerable damage. Professional contractors can manage complex repairs with wood fillers or replacements.
Staining:
- Stain Selection: Choose the right stain type and color based on the wood species, desired finish (natural, opaque, etc.), and overall aesthetic. Consider factors like light exposure and maintenance needs.
- Application Method: Brushing, spraying, or wiping can be used depending on the stain type, project size, and desired effect. Each method requires specific skills and equipment.
- Test Staining: Apply stain to an inconspicuous area to test color compatibility and absorption before proceeding with the entire project.
Finishing:
- Clear Coat Application: Consider applying a clear coat to protect the stain and enhance durability, especially in high-traffic areas. Choose between matte, satin, or gloss finishes depending on the desired look.
- Touch-ups: Address any minor imperfections or drips before the final inspection.
